I am just going to ask one more time to see if anyone else has a different opinion. I am not very good at this game. First fighting game. Have gotten better by watching a lot of videos, but no where near good. I have been playing casual. Should I go in and play ranked? Or is casual the place to stay until I get, quote on quote "good."

The first step to enjoying fighting games is to not be scared of losing.

Just play. Win or lose, learn. Eventually, you'll improve without even knowing it.

So, in other words, just go for it.

How do you best punish/guard against someone who (cross)jumps you at wake-up?

Well it depends who you play, but just anticipating the crossup and blocking accordingly. Also back tech helps alot in avoiding crossup situations.

This is good advice for nearly any online game.

I reach the point with every fighter and I enjoy the game much more after that happens.

I dropped two leagues last night, in part because many of my wins didn't count due to ragequits, which infuriated me. But then I realized that it didn't matter, I got those points fairly easily, and things will get better when the skill levels spread out over the various leagues.

 

[Doctor West]

This game is unplayable for me. I'm constantly getting disconnected from the server. I wish I never bought this.

It's the eyes. The eyes that are always open

If you are behind a firewall / router, can you try setting your computer as the DMZ. That's of course not recommended in general, so you should turn it off afterwards, but that'll help show if your problems are because connections are being blocked.

I turned off my firewall completely and still nothing. If i wait for maybe 1-2 hours I will find a ranked match, but that's completely unacceptable.

I'm trying more port forwarding via windows now, since it didnt do shit via my router.

Every other multiplayer game works perfectly. This is so frustrating.

 

[AHappyPanda]

WTF.

The TES is back in stock at Madcatz.com, but their checkout is fucked up.

Keeps telling me "We were unable to authorize this purchase with the credit card information given. Please go back and check the accuracy of the information provided."

I've tried 2 cards, and one of the banks even e-mailed a fraud detection e-mail asking me if I tried to buy from Madcatz.com....

Jesus Christ.

I started having this issue with them around the time the GGXrd TE2 was about to be released used multiple cards with different address and nothing. I have now since ordered any of their products through amazon.com.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Get home. First two matches both result in rage quits. This is absurd. I'm starting to fear fighting anyone with high LP, simply because 8/10 they'll rage quit if I win.

 

[Lord Phol]

Block, anticipate his next move (follow up or a throw).

Well it depends who you play, but just anticipating the crossup and blocking accordingly. Also back tech helps alot in avoiding crossup situations.

Hm, guess I need to practice my blocking. Probably play too agressively, mostly because I panic a bit when I'm pressured. Thanks guys gonna try to be more calm!

I Play Ken btw.

I'm not sure if that is what you meant, but you need to do more than just turn off the firewall, you need to actually forward the ports to your computer, which is what setting it as the DMZ does.

yeah, I've forwarded a shitload of ports, both from the reddit thread and the portforwarding website, there's like 10+ ports in both udp and tcp. if DMZ does more I could try it

Yeah, I'm about to give up on them and just wait for my Amazon order to get a delivery estimate.

I was reading through their Twitter and they said Amazon should be getting another batch of sticks soon...

Yeah there's nothing much you can do when an opponent crosses you up on wake-up. The only thing you should NOT do is press buttons or crouch. Even if blocking seems like a disadvantage, giving him a free combo after successfully pulling off his cross-up will hurt you more.

 

[Rhaknar]

went from 1200lp or so all the way down to bronze again... the loss streaks are real gents ;_;

 

[AlanOC91]

It's official. 50+ ranked wins in and I still can't beat any Nash players.

Thanks for the heads up. I decided I wanted one of these TES+ sticks after all but they were sold out by the time I made up my mind.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

I can't even beat Survival on Normal. I think I might be actually too bad for this game.

Same here, just yesterday pulled myself back up to where I was before my lose streak

Really loving my TES+ stick so hope you guys aren't waiting too long and are happy.

Just remember, this thing could do damage to your toe if you got angry after losing 4 straight matches. I may have been close to that at one point today :lol

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Is this your friend?

Close, but no.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I'm currently undefeated right now with FANG at 8 wins.

Spoiler

This is my jinx.

 

[JebaćBiedę]

40 fights today and all smooth. It has nothing to do with the servers as it hands off to P2P for a match, it sounds like something your end if it that's frequent.

Have you got manual match confirmation on? That shows the bars more accurately before deciding to fight.

Just asking what's your NAT? Do you think it could be packet loss? Do you think you're playing against Alt+Tabbers?

https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFigh...e_z_responds_to_the_sf5_netcode_alttab_issue/

Guys, I am so fucking stupid. I thought I was connected by ethernet, but I forgot I left my USB wifi card in my pc.

Results? Fucking laggy POS.

I threw that shit away and now it takes 1 minute to find a game and 9 out of 10 games are without lag/teleport.

And now I am on 6 ranked wins in a row. I want to cry tears of happiness. SFV is workking like a dream!!!

Ah bolded is what I end up doing when I'm out of options, gotta get out of that routine.

Yeah don't worry about that stuff, I came all the way down from Silver to almost Rookie, lol. I don't understand why people keep rage quitting, these points are meaningless to me.

Haha, it's more for the collection since it has such a slick look to it. I play on Hitbox and pad more than I do my sticks. That may change though since that is such a damn nice looking stick and actually has a touchpad/L3/R3 for the training room shortcuts (which I actually find pretty useful). Plus my execution on stick needs more work than on Hitbox or pad so it's a good excuse to pick one up again.

 

[Korosenai]

Any good Fang beginner guides/tutorials/combo videos out there?

 

[CastleRybread]

I'm having some problems pulling off moves with my TES+ as opposed to my regular TE. Thinking it's just a product of it being new and a little stiffer than my other ones.

 

[AHappyPanda]

Thought about the HRAP 4, it's in stock at my local Fry's...but I would still spend time modding it with Sanwa buttons, and in the end, the cost is basically the same.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Can't get over how good the game looks maxed on PC tbh

I actually really like the motion blur as well :/ I just wish you could share CFN ID between platforms

And a bit amusing .. but mostly just great that you can play properly now. Welcome to SFV!

ok, i turned on my router's 'game mode' and that worked I think. not sure what it actually does though!

 

[mekes]

Any tips for Survival Hell?

I take it I should follow the same kind of tactics used for hard? Anybody know the random difficulty spike levels?

Went against an annoying Ken player. Goddamn. Fuckin' shoryuken happy.

 

[Poltergust]

I would do anything for a Hot Ryu code. :<

I would've gotten it through a pre-order, but I wanted a digital version.

 

[Rhaknar]

im not even mad anymore, im just losing every match now. I feel like im not progressing at all, if anything I regressed. Its not even a "take a break" moment, im perfectly calm, im just shit I guess, starting to feel pointless to even play this.

Like, everyone apparnelty knows huge combos. I cant even do a 3 hit combo. Maybe fighters just arent for me anymore :/

 

[chicko1983]

I'm now starting to move up the rankings steadily. Up to around 800lp. I was hovering around 100-300lp for ages, mainly because I was not blocking. Now I wait for the opponent to make a move, I just block and then do a special or down+kick when their attack blocks.

It means that the majority of cammy, ryu and Ken players I can beat now. I I don't even need to unleash a combo. I'm maining bison so he has very powerful attacks too.

My tip to noobs is to block more. I thought I was blocking but I was holding down back and then not being patient and also pressing a button, which would take me out of a block.

Also, neutral jumping has worked well for me too. I neutral jump and then they wiff a Dragon punch or cannon spike and then I punish them.

I love this game!

Buy the game from a store that gives the Ryu code and then resell the game?

YIKES. Chris G was cracking throughout the entire video. He was slowly losing confidence in himself.... He looked crushed.

I think that opportunity has passed. It was a pre-order bonus, after all.

I'm the same way. Think this is going to end up like 3 where I admire it from afar, but it's just too much for me.

Still feels weird though. after over 1000 hours in Super 4 and beyond and winning more than I lost, I just can't grasp this one. Almost praying Ibuki has the same invulnerability and recovery windows as 4, but I doubt it. Even if not, if her moveset is very similar, I know I have an answer to most things I see already.

 

[JBourne]

Yeah, I can't really speak for the quality of the buttons on the Kai or Hayabusa. I haven't used either stick yet, although I plan on getting a Kai when they're back in stock on March 1st.

I'm just a big fan of Hori products. I've owned one Madcatz stick and one Qanba stick. Both of them died within a few months of purchasing them. Meanwhile my Hori SCV stick is still going strong, my VX is still my dedicated shmup stick, and my gf is happy with her PS3 Mini.
